Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

55 Flex Boots - When will they become too soft?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
A mate of mine is looking at purchasing the new "why rent" package at Snow & Rock for £299 but is worried that the boots will not last due to him getting too good for them. Currently he is a very basic skier who skis with parallel skis most of the time.......when will a boot with a 55 flex start to hold him back?? He is 6 foot and weighs in and about 11 stone.

The boots in question are Salomon Mission 4's

All thoughts welcome!

speedy, with his height, the leverage he will generate will probably crush them from day one, not sure if they will do it but it may be worth asking if he can upgrade the boot a model or two and pay the difference

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

speedy, I'm 5'8" about 11st rolling eyes ok 11.5 Not the worlds most experienced or greatest skier but my boots are Speedmachine 10's flex 100-110 and they flex readily when I ski.

They are trying to tell you they are so floppy you might as well wearing trainers Toofy Grin

edit: I'm not a boot fitter, they are so I would listen.

speedy, the boot in question is too soft, suitable for a child - your mate will out ski the boot from the start. The boys could have told you that rather than trying to be funny!
